Re: [Openvpn-users] openVPN through Cisco firewall!

Thanks for the feedback. I need to bypass the firewall as it's blocking the traffic (I think) (as no packets are received on the tun interface of the remote server when I ping the 10.30.7.100 from 192.168.1.2). If I try to force the internal traffic by adding a route for the internal network, i.e 192.168.1.0 through the tunnel, ping doesn't work. Yes the tunnel is up with no errors,Initialization Sequence is done. Yes from 192.168.1.2, I can ping successfully to 10.8.0.6 (tun interface of the remote server) from 192.168.1.2 and vice versa (when I ping 10.8.0.1 from 10.30.7.100). As said, I want to communicate from the 192.168.1.2 to the remote server (10.30.7.100) without passing through NAT (firewall) because the software I'm installing on the remote server requires no NAT communication.Is there a way that this can be done??? Which IP should I assign the software so that it communicates through the tunnel, the physical nic or the virtual tun one???Maybe it's the concept I'm missing??

Kind Regards

Peter

What for?

You did not tell us if the tunnel actually comes up. Once the tunnel isestablished you can contact the client through its _tunnel_ interface.
